Regional Clean Energy Technology Innovation Webinar
Description
You are invited to a Webinar on
Regional Clean Energy Technology Innovation
Regional clean energy innovation ecosystems are bringing together U.S. universities,
national laboratories, business and industry, and the public sector to advance critical
research, development and demonstration (RD&D) strategies to achieve a low-carbon
21st century energy economy. This significant interest reflects the spirit of the
announcement of Mission Innovation at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) last
November 30.
Mission Innovation, a call to double RD&D resources in the energy arena, was
announced by President Obama and 20 other world leaders in Paris at the COP21 to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The participating
countries have agreed to double their clean energy RD&D budgets within five years –
from USD $15 billion/year to USD $30 billion/year.
Please join us to hear the results of several university forums that have been held since
April of this year on this important endeavor.
